Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Hokkaido University has established a new chair called "Lab. for Innovative Nano-Pharmaceutical Science," donated by Nanohana Hokkaido Co., Ltd. and Ninapharm Japon Co., Ltd.
The development of nanomedicines for the purpose of disease prevention and health maintenance will have a significant impact on medical care. In addition, resolving the problems of polypharmacy and overdose is a challenge of great social significance. Furthermore, it is extremely important to provide medical professionals such as pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and nutritionists, as well as members of the public, with the opportunity to obtain a doctorate. In order to solve these problems, this course will accomplish the following missions.
